Lyrics
Verse 1
You broke the night like the sun
and healed my heart with Your great love
any trouble couldn't bear
You lifted me upon Your shoulders
Chorus
Love that's stronger
Love that covers sin
and takes the weight of the world
I love You
all of my hope is in You
Jesus Christ take my life
take all of me
Verse 2
You stand on mountain tops with me
with You I walk through the valleys
Your grace is all I rely on
Bridge
I love You so, and I give up my heart to say
I need You so, my everything

Meaning & Inspiration
This worship song is a prayer of surrender that closes its chorus with the words "Jesus Christ take my life, take all of me". The opening describes light breaking through darkness, with the line "You broke the night like the sun", and credits the love of God with healing the singer's heart and carrying the singer when trouble was too heavy to bear.
The chorus describes a love that is stronger, covers sin and takes up the weight of the world, and it places all hope in Jesus. The second verse uses the picture of standing on mountain tops and walking through valleys, a contrast that resembles Psalm 23:4, though the lyric does not quote it. The verse names grace as what the singer relies on.
The final lines are plain declarations of love and need, ending with "my everything". The request throughout is complete surrender, matching the offering of the whole self described in Romans 12:1.
